Oh, that’s rather a different sort of disk sampling than I imagined.

I see the generated points often form lines which would cause aliasing in computer graphics, why not use low discrepancy sequences instead?

I love these kinds of problems, because they try to produce what humans perceive as random instead of something truly random. Another great example of this is blue noise

I'm wondering if it can be used as a low-discrepancy sequence

For a low-discrepancy sequence you are usually trying to generate one point at a time, up to some arbitrary number. Here the goal is to generate (roughly) a specific number of points that fill a whole region.

So you probably could figure out a way to use this method to make a low-discrepancy sequence but it's probably not going to be particularly suitable compared to alternatives.
